Spring Term

School

I'm back at it. Been at it for about a week and a half. I am thus far enjoying this term, classes are good because I can work at my own speed. I am getting ahead in my online classes and staying on schedule for my real class. I feel a lot less stressed and take time to enjoy the nice weather on the beach. School is good, I'm enjoying it.

Friends

I love my friends. I love my friends in Canada, I love my friends in Hawaii, from the mission, who happen to be all over. Lately I've been able to spend time with some Rad people. Chase has been back in the social scene.. it's nice to spend time with him, who woulda thought that when we met back in Besancon in my apartment that we would actually end up going to the same school in Hawaii. I went to town with him and Skee on Saturday and just had a great time, we hiked to some waterfall in town.. that's right there is a hike in town to a waterfall. It was way pretty and fun, we got to hike in the twilight which added an incredible aspect.




I have been trying to notice lately all the amazing things that I am blessed with in my life and I'm so glad that good friends are one of them. I'm sad that I don't get to have all of my friends in one place at one time, because that would be SICK. A few people went home after this winter semester and I am sad to have seen them fly away, but thats one thing that I have come to realize sometimes friendships will only last for a season, so get stoked on them and enjoy!

Forward girls

I always thought that I would enjoy a girl being blatantly obvious when she expressed her desire to be on me. I found out that I'm not so stoked on it. Why am I talking about this.. let me elaborate. Dan Baradoy left this rock, but before he left his father, him, and I all went to Hukilau Cafe for breakfast. Now if you don't know what Hukilau cafe is your missing out, and if you think you know...(isn't it on 50 first dates... your wrong. The name of the cafe is but the actual location is incorrect) Anyways for those who are unaware Dan Baradoy is a good looking young fellow.

And this girl at the cafe also seemed to think so. So she got her friend to drop a lil note off at our table and it read " You're Hot. Name. 808-678-8967"(number isn't real) Pretty rad, I mean that is quite the compliment. So Dan calls her and we take her to the beach. Fast forward a week. I get a text after church from a friend who says "my roommate has a crush on you." My thoughts are this is different, it's been awhile since I've had someone say this to me. So I ask who, and she tells me. I don't really know what to say so I'm like... Cool. Then I get invited to hot tub with just forward girl.. just us two. This is a little uncomfortable for me, a stance I feel justified in taking. I don't want to hot tub so I straight up get out of it by saying I don't feel comfortable hanging out in a hot tub with this girl, and kinda make up some other excuse, thinking and hoping that thats the end of it. Later I end up going to play games at the A frame house. Not just any game a super intense fun game of signs. I mean it didn't get much better as far as a game of signs goes. After a half hour guess who shows up.. thats right forward girl with her roommates, which is fine, but dang did I feel awkward. I'm sure if someone was paying close attention the color of my face may have changed a few hues. I think that is why I came to the conclusion that forward girls are not as rad as I thought.

School is out

I am finished. Finals, papers, everything. All I need to do in the next 10 days is apply to renew my passport, get a bank account here, get more tanned, surf, skate, and find out what the deal is with my student loans.

I am so happy, the last 2 or 3 weeks I have been cooped up in a library writing papers studying and overall being lame. I am fairly certain that I got 3 A's and 2 B's. Which is not bad at all. I actually don't mind getting A's. But I mean now it's over and I don't have to be in the Library, I feel freedom.

I am grateful that I have an awesome teacher at school who really helps me to do well and even basically offered me a job as her TA. I think I will take it, she is really well connected and is a really smart lady. I am stoked that she is helping me. She even introduced me to the past and current president of the BYU-management Society so that I can network.

Well here's a video to help you pass the time.
